## Version types, parsing and printing
- The version classes have changed: `VersionBase` is removed, there is now a
`ConcreteVersion` base class. `StandardVersion` and `GitVersion` both inherit
from this.
- The public api (`Version`, `VersionRange`, `ver`) has changed a bit:
1. `Version` produces either `StandardVersion` or `GitVersion` instances.
2. `VersionRange` produces a `ClosedOpenRange`, but this shouldn't affect the user.
3. `ver` produces any of `VersionList`, `ClosedOpenRange`, `StandardVersion`
or `GitVersion`.
- No unexpected type promotion, so that the following is no longer an identity:
`Version(x) != VersionRange(x, x)`.
- `VersionList.concrete` now returns a version if it contains only a single element
subtyping `ConcreteVersion` (i.e. `StandardVersion(...)` or `GitVersion(...)`)
- In version lists, the parser turns `@x` into `VersionRange(x, x)` instead
of `Version(x)`.
- The above also means that `ver("x")` produces a range, whereas
`ver("=x")` produces a `StandardVersion`. The `=` is part of _VersionList_
syntax.
- `VersionList.__str__` now outputs `=x.y.z` for specific version entries,
and `x.y.z` as a short-hand for ranges `x.y.z:x.y.z`.
- `Spec.format` no longer aliases `{version}` to `{versions}`, but pulls the
concrete version out of the list and prints that -- except when the list is
is not concrete, then is falls back to `{versions}` to avoid a pedantic error.
For projections of concrete specs, `{version}` should be used to render
`1.2.3` instead of `=1.2.3` (which you would get with `{versions}`).
The default `Spec` format string used in `Spec.__str__` now uses
`{versions}` so that `str(Spec(string)) == string` holds.
## Changes to `GitVersion`
- `GitVersion` is a small wrapper around `StandardVersion` which enriches it
with a git ref. It no longer inherits from it.
- `GitVersion` _always_ needs to be able to look up an associated Spack version
if it was not assigned (yet). It throws a `VersionLookupError` whenever `ref_version`
is accessed but it has no means to look up the ref; in the past Spack would
not error and use the commit sha as a literal version, which was incorrect.
- `GitVersion` is never equal to `StandardVersion`, nor is satisfied by it. This
is such that we don't lose transitivity. This fixes the following bug on `develop`
where `git_version_a == standard_version == git_version_b` does not imply
`git_version_a == git_version_b`. It also ensures equality always implies equal
hash, which is also currently broken on develop; inclusion tests of a set of
versions + git versions would behave differently from inclusion tests of a
list of the same objects.
- The above means `ver("ref=1.2.3) != ver("=1.2.3")` could break packages that branch
on specific versions, but that was brittle already, since the same happens with
externals: `pkg@1.2.3-external` suffixes wouldn't be exactly equal either. Instead,
those checks should be `x.satisfies("@1.2.3")` which works both for git versions and
custom version suffixes.
- `GitVersion` from commit will now print as `<hash>=<version>` once the
git ref is resolved to a spack version. This is for reliability -- version is frozen
when added to the database and queried later. It also improves performance
since there is no need to clone all repos of all git versions after `spack clean -m`
is run and something queries the database, triggering version comparison, such
as potentially reuse concretization.
- The "empty VerstionStrComponent trick" for `GitVerison` is dropped since it wasn't
representable as a version string (by design). Instead, it's replaced by `git`,
so you get `1.2.3.git.4` (which reads 4 commits after a tag 1.2.3). This means
that there's an edge case for version schemes `1.1.1`, `1.1.1a`, since the
generated git version `1.1.1.git.1` (1 commit after `1.1.1`) compares larger
than `1.1.1a`, since `a < git` are compared as strings. This is currently a
wont-fix edge case, but if really required, could be fixed by special casing
the `git` string.
- Saved, concrete specs (database, lock file, ...) that only had a git sha as their
version, but have no means to look the effective Spack version anymore, will
now see their version mapped to `hash=develop`. Previously these specs
would always have their sha literally interpreted as a version string (even when
it _could_ be looked up). This only applies to databases, lock files and spec.json
files created before Spack 0.20; after this PR, we always have a Spack version
associated to the relevant GitVersion).
- Fixes a bug where previously `to_dict` / `from_dict` (de)serialization would not
reattach the repo to the GitVersion, causing the git hash to be used as a literal
(bogus) version instead of the resolved version. This was in particularly breaking
version comparison in the build process on macOS/Windows.
## Installing or matching specific versions
- In the past, `spack install pkg@3.2` would install `pkg@=3.2` if it was a
known specific version defined in the package, even when newer patch releases
`3.2.1`, `3.2.2`, `...` were available. This behavior was only there because
there was no syntax to distinguish between `3.2` and `3.2.1`. Since there is
syntax for this now through `pkg@=3.2`, the old exact matching behavior is
removed. This means that `spack install pkg@3.2` constrains the `pkg` version
to the range `3.2`, and `spack install pkg@=3.2` constrains it to the specific
version `3.2`.
- Also in directives such as `depends_on("pkg@2.3")` and their when
conditions `conflicts("...", when="@2.3")` ranges are ranges, and specific
version matches require `@=2.3.`.
- No matching version: in the case `pkg@3.2` matches nothing, concretization
errors. However, if you run `spack install pkg@=3.2` and this version
doesn't exist, Spack will define it; this allows you to install non-registered
versions.
- For consistency, you can now do `%gcc@10` and let it match a configured
`10.x.y` compiler. It errors when there is no matching compiler.
In the past it was interpreted like a specific `gcc@=10` version, which
would get bootstrapped.
- When compiler _bootstrapping_ is enabled, `%gcc@=10.2.0` can be used to
bootstrap a specific compiler version.
## Other changes
- Externals, compilers, and develop spec definitions are backwards compatible.
They are typically defined as `pkg@3.2.1` even though they should be
saying `pkg@=3.2.1`. Spack now transforms `pkg@3` into `pkg@=3` in those cases.
- Finally, fix strictness of `version(...)` directive/declaration. It just does a simple
type check, and now requires strings/integers. Floats are not allowed because
they are ambiguous `str(3.10) == "3.1"`.
- [x] Replace `version(ver, checksum=None, **kwargs)` signature with
`version(ver, checksum=None, *, sha256=..., ...)` explicitly listing all arguments.
- [x] Fix various issues in packages:
- `tags` instead of `tag`
- `default` instead of `preferred`
- `sha26` instead of `sha256`
- etc
Also, use `sha256=...` consistently.
Note: setting `sha256` currently doesn't validate the checksum length, so you could do
`sha256="a"*32` and it would get checked as `md5`... but that's something for another PR.
Explicitly import package utilities in all packages, and corresponding fallout.
This includes:
* rename `spack.package` to `spack.package_base`
* rename `spack.pkgkit` to `spack.package`
* update all packages in builtin, builtin_mock and tutorials to include `from spack.package import *`
* update spack style
* ensure packages include the import
* automatically add the new import and remove any/all imports of `spack` and `spack.pkgkit`
from packages when using `--fix`
* add support for type-checking packages with mypy when SPACK_MYPY_CHECK_PACKAGES
is set in the environment
* fix all type checking errors in packages in spack upstream
* update spack create to include the new imports
* update spack repo to inject the new import, injection persists to allow for a deprecation period
Original message below:
As requested @adamjstewart, update all packages to use pkgkit. I ended up using isort to do this,
so repro is easy:
```console
$ isort -a 'from spack.pkgkit import *' --rm 'spack' ./var/spack/repos/builtin/packages/*/package.py
$ spack style --fix
```
There were several line spacing fixups caused either by space manipulation in isort or by packages
that haven't been touched since we added requirements, but there are no functional changes in here.
* [x] add config to isort to make sure this is maintained going forward
fixes#29446
The new setup_*_environment functions have been falling back
to calling the old functions and warn the user since #11115.
This commit removes the fallback behavior and any use of:
- setup_environment
- setup_dependent_environment
in the codebase
* tests: make `spack url [stats|summary]` work on mock packages
Mock packages have historically had mock hashes, but this means they're also invalid
as far as Spack's hash detection is concerned.
- [x] convert all hashes in mock package to md5 or sha256
- [x] ensure that all mock packages have a URL
- [x] ignore some special cases with multiple VCS fetchers
* url stats: add `--show-issues` option
`spack url stats` tells us how many URLs are using what protocol, type of checksum,
etc., but it previously did not tell us which packages and URLs had the issues. This
adds a `--show-issues` option to show URLs with insecure (`http`) URLs or `md5` hashes
(which are now deprecated by NIST).
- [x] add `concretize.lp`, `spack.yaml`, etc. to licensed files
- [x] update all licensed files to say 2013-2021 using
`spack license update-copyright-year`
- [x] appease mypy with some additions to package.py that needed
for oneapi.py
- remove the old LGPL license headers from all files in Spack
- add SPDX headers to all files
- core and most packages are (Apache-2.0 OR MIT)
- a very small number of remaining packages are LGPL-2.1-only
